The University of Utah opened their new Natural History museum this year. It is exactly the sort of establishment you would expect at the heart of dinosaur country. Utah can hold its head high for sure. This is the best museum this crowd has been to. I thought poor Little Chief would be confined to his stroller for the entire exhibit, but there was actually something for him to do in every room.
2 thumbs up for an educational, fun, interactive museum.
First up, splashing in water in the back yard adventure room.
...and animal dress-up time.
Next into the world of dinosaurs...
My favorite thing was this section of a dinosaur quarry Superkid is standing on. The paleontologists hiked 4 miles into the quarry with tools and plaster on their backs to set these bones in place. Next a helicopter lifted the bones out of the canyon. How cool is that?!
Who wants to be a paleontologist now?
Okay, so here is the part where we get to be paleontologists too
...without hiking 4 miles with tools and plaster on our backs!
More underground rock quarry fun. I just think it is too cool!
Superkid does too!
There were many many other cool things too. Like this erosion table...
Then it was off to Iceberg for a REAL milkshake.
You know then kind that stands ABOVE the cup.
We're all fans!

We love that museum....We did the dinosnores event they had there when Sara was 3 and got to sleep in the museum underneath T-Rex. It was awesome!
Ok So I read your post a little more clearly this time....We spent the night at the Dinosaur museum at the point of the Mountain. They have very similar exhibits as the ones your have pictured.
